V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #17 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> --- Like OpenGL before, skia/ganesh Vulkan tooled rendering is being deprecated. LibreOffice had used the skia/ganesh Vulkan tooling, and the chromium project has deprecated ganesh in favor of more robust and multi-threaded graphite tooling--the hw accelerated rendering that chrome uses on Windows builds. So, for the 26.2.5 [1] release and the 26.8.0 [2] release, Vulkan hw rendering will be placed under user experimental feature (Tools -> Options -> Advanced "Enable experimental features") with defaults now shifted onto skia / CPU raster framing. While on master, toward the 27.2 release [3] , the default will be skia / CPU raster framing with a new UI checkbox toggle (Tools -> Options -> View 'ForceSkiaGPU') to enable skia / ganesh Vulkan tooling. Some dev discussion of pursuing a skia/graphite Vulkan tooling to track with chromium skia offerings, or possibly a move on Windows builds to skia/D3D12 as a bridge. Thanks Xisco for giving this a tweak! It should help stabilize folks on marginal hw with balky drivers while others can continue with Vulkan acceleration. Just hope we can stir up some additional dev interest to move the skia hw accelerated rendering onward to refactor with graphite. =-ref-= [1] https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/208146 [2] https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/208133 [3] https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/208148 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
